Korea Desk

Lewis Silkin’s Korea Desk offer clients specialist legal services coupled with language skills and a deep understanding of the challenges that clients from the region face.

The Korea Desk is led by Soyoung Lee, a native Korean speaking UK qualified lawyer specialising in employment and business immigration. Soyoung has extensive experience in working for Korean organisations, from multinational companies and SMEs across a broad range of industry sectors to government organisations.

Soyoung is a member of the Ministry of Justice (of the Reublic of Korea)’s legal panel for Korean SMEs to advise those who are expanding to overseas markets, inparticular the UK.

Dealing with complex legal matters in a foreign language can be challenging. Lewis Silkin’s clients can communicate in Korean and we can review Korean language documents, saving clients time and costs on translations.

The Korea Desk can advise clients on the following issues:

Employment

Business immigration

International project management involving multi-jurisdictions

We are also able to draw on our relationships with Alliance partners to meet the requirements of UK and other clients with prospective and/or current investments in Korea.
